To give all the MMers hope: last year, I struck out at my T14.. mass mailed so many firms.. eventually, a firm I mm'd sent me a letter (I expected it to be a ding, but I read it, and what do you know, they invite me in to interview). I end up going in, interviewing, and getting an offer for the SA.

Just wanted to circle back: I officially struck out from OCI at 4:15pm yesterday. But 20 minutes later I got an offer call from a Mass Mail call back I did earlier that morning for a V30 in a secondary market. Took it. There's hope, all it takes is one.

Bump

I would give it three weeks to a month. If you haven't heard anything, follow up with a polite just checking on the status of my application. Are there any materials I could forward to supplement my app to help in the decision making process? etc. Also, make sure you're continuing to mass mail in the meantime. Good luck!

In law school, the only mass mailing I did was for clerkships. When applying to private firms, is it better to paper mail or apply online? I've heard mixed opinions.

Also, for paper mail, what should I send? Resume, cover letter, etc? How much do grades matter after you've clerked?

If you think you can help me, please feel free to message me!

The norm in that region is online. Never ever paper.

Yup, going forward I would totally ignore any and all advice from someone who says to snail mail
